Little Bag

When I saw this bag on Pinterest, I thought it might be a good idea to use fabric bags instead of wrapping paper for gifts. I traced it back and found this tutorial by Paula Cheney for making them. It's clear and helpful, thanks Paula. The first one is for a baby shower I'm going to tomorrow. The bag is smaller than I visualised. In theory I could make the next one bigger, using the same principles, but I bought fabric with these dimensions in mind, so I'll have to see how it goes.
I also made a hat for  baby in matching fabric:

  1. I too love origami bags, they are so fun to make :) And the matching hat is a good idea, and so cute in that fabric! The recipient is a lucky babe :)

  3. I love making fabric gift bags. II learned of this Origami pattern from Diane at Lace Lovin’ Librarian for keeping her shuttle tattting projects in. Yours is adorable for a baby shower. Love the matching hat!

  4. I love these bags also - I've made many, many of them for tatting, etc. but I never really thought about using them for gift bags. I need to start doing that, since one can make them any size. I use a little bit different pattern, but basically the same. Oooooh, I have some Christmas fabric . . .
